So I decided to finally join in on this blog carnival. Click the button above to find out how to participate. I’ve been following We Are THAT Family for a little bit. It’s a great blog, you should definitely go check it out!

Now on to my past….

When I lived in Texas (3rd and 4th grade), we had a pool. Which in Texas is a must. I went swimming as much as I could. But hating to get water in my eyes was a real problem. The best solution to the problem was goggles. And here we have me in my goggle glory.The picture quality isn’t that great. It’s a picture of a picture, but you get the point. Don’t you just love the big round yellow rimmed goggles. And the giant blue balls (don’t spit) hanging from the ends of my braids. I’m gorgeous aren’t I! Everyone should have a swimsuit like this one!

Now wearing the goggles did the job they were designed to do. They protected my eyes from getting wet, but they also created a new problem. I get a really dark tan in the summer. But those goggles did not let the sun touch around my eyes. I had major raccoon eyes. I tried to find a picture of the after affect and thankfully there are none!

I still look in the mirror and see light circles around my eyes and blame those goggles! I’m quite self conscious about it actually.

Goggle wearers beware, there are consequences!
